On Season 6 of The Catch, host Ruxandra Guidi takes a look at one of the world’s most lucrative fish: tuna. The Pacific islands’ tuna fishery makes up more than half of global tuna supply and underpins these developing islands’ economies. But that could change. Climate change is pushing the fishery out of these islands’ waters, onto the high seas, and these island nations risk losing out. On this season, Guidi reports from the Solomon Islands to hear firsthand how the Pacific nations are grappling with these changes.

The Catch hosted a live podcast taping at the United Nations’ third annual Ocean Conference in Nice, France. Moderator Philippe Cousteau was joined by former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and U.N. Special Envoy for the Ocean Peter Thomson to discuss diplomacy’s importance to our ocean. Our panelists followed this discussion by looking closely at the challenges and successes of the tuna fishery in the Pacific Islands, the focus for our next season.
Our panelists were Filimon Manoni, the Pacific Ocean commissioner for the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat; Chris Dorsett, the vice president of conservation for Ocean Conservancy; Kristin Kleisner, the lead senior scientist and senior director for oceans at the Environmental Defense Fund; and Paolo Domondon, the chief program and policy officer for Global Fishing Watch. And stay tuned for Season 6 of The Catch, coming to you later this summer.
